Really easy hike but the landscape was awesome. I saw several blue monkeys. I only had a day but I am planning on doing it to the top but on a MTB

My guide "Nickson" was extremely accommodating despite how completely unprepared I was for the trip. He carried everything and had a lot of useful information about the sights to see on the hike. He also stayed just a couple steps behind me so that I could set my own pace.
I would Definitely recommend this company and this guide for anyone considering this trip.

I was completely satisfied with the service provided by Kilisa. I especially appreciated that the guide tried to customize the day according to my wishes. For example, I like to hike on my own, enjoying the peace of the woods. After my guide heard that, he suggested that we walk a few hundred meters from each other, to give me space (but - at the same time - to be there in case I needed help).
The day hike on Kilimanjaro is not too exhausting, it should be manageable for reasonable fit people.
